The Copenhagen-based brand is presenting its autumn/winter collection under the theme ‘Same season. Different reasons’. The three product lines – Mechanism, Escapism and Essential – cater to the different needs of road and gravel cyclists.

Mechanism for training and racing

According to the manufacturer, the Mechanism range is designed to meet the highest performance standards in training and racing. The updated Mechanism Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey 2.0 uses Polartec PowerShield Pro Knit and PowerGrid. This combination of materials is designed to combine breathability with protection from the wind and the elements.

The new Mechanism Thermal Long Bibs are made from M.I.T.I SuperRoubaix fleece. According to the manufacturer, the fabric is designed to provide warmth and elasticity. The jersey and bibs are designed to form a complete kit for autumn and winter rides.

Escapism for gravel and off-road riding

The Escapism collection is designed for longer gravel and off-road rides. New to the AW26 collection are the Escapism Long Cargo Bibs, made from a textured fabric. The Escapism Hooded Lightweight Jacket is designed to offer light protection against wind and rain. The Escapism Long Sleeve Jersey rounds off the range.

Essential for a wide range of uses

The Essential range is getting new seasonal colourways. The products include the Essential Light Cargo Bibs and Essential Light Long-Sleeve Jerseys. The insulated base layers include the Essential Insulated Gilet and the Essential Insulated Jackets featuring Polartec Alpha.
